Italian term or phrase: sostituzione sociale
not sure what to cal this in English; here is a definition:

fenomeni di sostituzione sociale, dove gli interventi “migliorativi” generano un effetto di
espulsione degli abitanti residenti che non possono più permettersi di abitare quel luogo.

sounds rather like gentrification, but not sure that's quite the same.

social displacement
Explanation:
Sostituzione sociale it's similar to gentrification, but not exactly the same.

This might be another viable option, I think, even if I have a few doubts about the word "social", since social displacement also identifies a mental condition (if I am not mistaken).
Anyway, Rachel, take a look at the link, the first one is quite interesting.

Displacement is a change in the class composition of a neighborhood over time.

Luxembourg's recent history has seen much gentrification and increases in the prices of real estate in the city centre, which has lead to considerable social displacement.

social replacement


Explanation:
Although it may seem banal, social replacement is widespread on the web; iin my opinion, as you guessed, it really sounds just like a synonym for gentrification.
